Mixing Prints and Musical Notes at Ibarra Brothers

Most know the Ibarra brothers as the owners of a printing store by the same name on Valencia Street, but the native Nicaraguan brothers have a secret identity: They’re famous musicians. They have a record label and they’ve recorded their own albums as well as the albums of other musicians.

In 1967, the Ibarra brothers and other friends started a band called Los Fantasticos. After playing for a month, a radio employee reached out to them and suggested they change the name to Los Ramblers. Since then, the band members have stayed together and have become a well-known band in their home country as well as in Central America in general.

In 1981, Los Ramblers were selected by the Nicaraguan government to represent the country in musical events. Read more and see the video HERE.
